Chapter 937: "No Man's Land" is released

The filming of "Hurricane Rescue 2" restarted, and the crew continued to post photos and videos of Song Zheng working on the set on the Internet, on the one hand, to do preliminary publicity for this drama, and on the other hand, to refute the previous domestic rumors.

Although Song Zheng was scolded by Lin Xinru on the phone afterwards, the matter was finally over, and Lin Xinru also knew that when Song Zheng had a stubborn temper, he was a cow, and he could only let it go, of course, the necessary advice must be indispensable.

"Hurricane Rescue 2" worked overtime in Turkey to shoot overtime, trying to catch up with the progress that fell before because of Song Zheng's injury, and on the domestic side, after some twists and turns, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was finally released.

For this drama, Ning Hao's fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it was originally scheduled to be released in the Lunar New Year, but because of some things, it has been delayed until now.

At the premiere of the movie, there were still reporters who wanted to dig deeper in this area, but the entire crew had already unified their tone and kept silent about the fact that the film had not been reviewed before.

Although the reporter asked fiercely, Ning Hao only said in the end: "The movie was postponed, not because it didn't pass the review, these are just rumors, the real reason is that I think this movie is still flawed, and I want to readjust it and add all my new ideas, that's it!"

The reporters were all stunned when they heard it, this nonsense was too sincere, everyone knew that Ning Hao was covering it up, but no matter how much they asked, Ning Hao just refused to say it.

Ning Hao and the main creator of the movie couldn't dig out the news they wanted, and the reporters could only look for it from the movie.

On the first day of the movie's release, this not full of topical movies received a box office of 17 million, and Song Zheng, who was far away in Turkey, was shocked when he learned that this movie had indeed achieved very good results after it was released in his previous life, but now, the movie has been released several years in advance, and it is really surprising that it can get such a brilliant box office.

Originally, Song Zheng thought that it was just because the audience was whetted that the box office would break out on the first day of the movie's release, but in seven consecutive days, the box office of "No Man's Land" successfully exceeded 100 million.

The controversy about this movie on the Internet has not meant to stop from the beginning, people who like it say that Ning Hao's transformation is very profound, and those who don't like it say that Ning Hao is playing tricks, losing what he was best at, and making a four-like film.

But it is undeniable that "No Man's Land" was successful, despite the many twists and turns before, although some people kept singing about this movie on the Internet, but the box office of the movie still soared like a rocket, and some people even thought that this movie could finally surpass the 413 million box office of Song Zheng's "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" released during Valentine's Day, becoming the highest-grossing film in the first half of 2006.

It is precisely as the box office of this movie has soared that those declining remarks have been gradually drowned out, and what remains is praise.

Ning Hao's two consecutive high-grossing works were comedies before, and people also regarded Ning Hao as a comedy director in their impressions, and some people even thought that he could inherit and surpass Feng Xiaogang and push domestic comedies to a peak.

But now Ning Hao suddenly made a 180-degree turn, no longer making a fuss, but sat down and used it as a profound technique to tell a more profound story, so that everyone who walked out of the movie theater fell into contemplation.

"What's the difference between a human and an animal?"

In the film, the lawyer played by Xu Zheng kept asking questions, and finally he gave the answer with a fire.

"Humans can use fire!"

People have long been taught that animals act on instinct, while humans have a set of rules of conduct that determine what they can or can't do.

This norm is a national law, a family rule, or it may just be some moral concepts recognized by the mainstream society.

But the ancients said: "People die for money, and birds die for food!"

From this point of view, it seems that humans and animals are not too far away, and the difference between good and evil may lie in whether the environment allows it or not, and whether the temptation is enough.

The reason why a person will commit a crime and become very perverted is not a matter of the person's personality traits, on the contrary, a very kind and usually very gentle person can also become a murderer.

It is some situation, a certain scene, a certain environment, a certain background, that makes a person suddenly fall and become Satan, which is the so-called "Lucifer Effect".

And "No Man's Land" is a young and promising lawyer who knows the law and understands the law, but degenerates into a criminal who tries to destroy the corpse to fulfill this law.

You and I are ordinary people, and we may have all kinds of small problems, but we are all good citizens who abide by the law.

Ask yourself, when a person encounters the dilemma of the lawyer played by Xu Zheng, who is imprisoned on one side and has a bright future on the other, will he make a more correct and rational choice?

Fortunately, the appearance of Jiaojiao, played by Yu Nan, gives the lawyer the opportunity to overcome his fear, greed and cowardice, and finally saves the other party, and at the same time completes self-redemption.

He verified it by standing up and a fire: "I am different from you, I am human." ”

At the beginning of the film, the protagonist Pan Xiao clearly tells people: this is a story about animals.

If you treat the relationship characters in the film as people, and then think about what life ambition and meaning of life is wrong, in "No Man's Land", these characters are first of all beasts, monkeys, eagles, tigers, horses, and lizards, which is also different from "Hoh Xili", in "No Man's Land" there is no law, no morality, and even money is so cheap and useless, here is only about the most instinctive life and death, joy and dislike of creatures.

This is where Ning Hao's transformation and ambition lie, an excellent director, after earning enough capital to start a business, should realize his personal value, and then create a higher spiritual enjoyment that can be shared with all mankind.

After watching the movie, people can't help but rejoice, fortunately, there is a desolate and majestic western desert in the vast land, and there is a blank no man's land, giving creative space to those cutting-edge directors who dare to take risks.

In this place where birds don't, there is no chirping birds, there is only the weak and the strong, perhaps because of this reason, the bare-chested uncles can't sit still, and they are deeply afraid that the bloody and violent scenes and the slaughter without the slightest humanity will disturb the stable order of this society.

But in this world, there are always areas that cannot be reached by humans, not only geographical areas, but also the spiritual world deep in everyone's heart, which is not a space that others can control with one hand.

The reason why people are human beings is not because they give up selfishness, but because they use fire, the light and heat that burns for their ideals in their hearts, and the burning passion of giving up everything for others.

Giving up selfishness is not by compromise and obedience, but by his own willingness, when Pan Xiao finally overturned the police car in order to save Jiaojiao, regardless of his personal life, resulting in injuries to the policeman, and finally lit a lighter and died with the hawk dealer, people saw the side of this lawyer as a loving and righteous person.

And what is the so-called hypocrisy that is the opposite of these?

"Good people" do not necessarily have good rewards, "you are a good person", "you are a smart person", you died a miserable death, just like the proprietress of that service area, for the sake of 50 yuan of secrecy, you can sell secrets for 100 yuan.

"I'll tell you honestly", that is, I'm lying, there is only trading in no man's land, and there is no truth.

"If I hadn't been a policeman, I'd have beaten you to death. "In no man's land, there is no such thing as a symbol of power and norms, and the police have to talk about evidence in court, but in no man's land, they don't have any physical evidence.

"You're friends with me!"

"No, we're not the same. ”

"Actually, it's the same, you publish your book, I sell my eagle. ”

There are no permanent friends and enemies in front of interests.

If it weren't for lawyer Pan Xiao, these non-humans would have been able to escape and continue to commit crimes?

This is not a victory for lawyers, but a moral defeat, and the fact that the police who represent justice cannot understand the terms of the law and lose the lawsuit does not mean that the law is useless, but that the party that uses and controls the law is not proficient and persistent enough.

The little lawyer who took advantage of the legal loopholes did not have much moral problems, he only knew that there was a car accident, and then a policeman was hit and killed, he knew that this suspect was not a good person, but he didn't know that he was a hawk seller, and he didn't know that he was not a human, but a beast that killed people without blinking.

The lawyer fought a lawsuit within his power for his own livelihood, and he was not wrong that the law was not motivated by morality.

So where is the moment when Pan Xiao loses his humanity?

It was the moment when he wanted to burn the corpse and destroy the traces, why did this happen?

Is it just that he is afraid that going to prison will ruin the future of his life?

And what he couldn't figure out made him crazy, he was blocked by a big truck in the overtaking lane, and he was humiliated by the truck driver, he was tied up and slaughtered viciously in a black store, and he didn't dare to rescue Jiaojiao when he met Jiaojiao.

After all, he came from the civilized world and was still a person who was not in a no-man's land, so he hesitated, so the killer had time to wake up.

Is it wrong for a person to repair a car on the road? Is it wrong to stop a car? Why don't you save him if he is hit? If you don't save him, why do you have to pour gas?

These ideas are very simple, that is, they want Pan Xiao to be fair, in fact, the same is true of the two truck drivers, you can despise driving a truck if you drive a luxury car? Aren't they all going the same way, why should they give way to you? This is the likes and dislikes of human nature, in this no-man's land where civilization is lacking, the only criterion for distinguishing values is likes and dislikes, if you like it, you can help, if you don't like it, you can fight, there is no hypocrisy and morality, because there is nothing to be cool, and it is just a matter of trying to be happy when you quarrel fiercely.

The truck driver is simpler, watching the eldest brother being shot, he insists on driving to hit the hawk dealer and resolve the feud with Pan Xiao, for these little people, emotion is the only driving force that governs them.

What still retains a trace of humanity in the no-man's land is the mentally retarded son of the black shop owner, and he doesn't care about the threat of the killer to knock you to death, he really likes Jiaojiao's performance when he picks up the dirt from Jiaojiao's hair, and he is afraid that she will run, but the most cruel scene in the whole film is that he was hit to death.

There are also weak police comrades, because they hold a grudge against Pan Xiao, so they plan to arrest Pan Xiao back first, but Pan Xiao's forced handbrake is also Pan Xiao's last cowardice, and as a result, justice once again becomes a supporting role for evil.

It can be seen that the energy generated by the negative is far greater than the positive, and the key is how to use this energy, and if it is used well, the negative can be transformed into positive.

The biggest villains in the film are the eagle dealer and the black shop owner, who can sell their souls and bodies for money, and are truly inhuman beasts, the most vicious existence in no man's land.

No man's land has indeed produced a beast without humanity, so no man's land needs law, justice, and fraternity, this is the view of people. But no man's land should not come to people, no one brings sinful desires, and the animals in no man's land can continue to live according to the laws of nature.

But those who are naked have to come to a harmonious and beautiful happy ending, so this movie has flaws, and it also makes many people who know a little inside story vent on the Internet after watching the movie, but they are destined not to see the most perfect "No Man's Land" in their minds.

But even so, what is reflected in this version of "No Man's Land" is profound enough, and it deserves to be called a good work, and it is only natural to be sought after by fans.

Some media did street interviews during the release of "No Man's Land", and many viewers who just watched "No Man's Land" and walked out of the cinema, more than ninety percent of them will think that this is a good movie, and some people even pointed out that this is a rare good movie in today's environment.

As we all know, Chinese films have a low starting point and a relatively strict censorship system, with this standard, although "No Man's Land" is flawed, it can indeed be regarded as a very wonderful film.

Although compared with first-class foreign films, some aspects are still slightly lacking, especially the ending is a little abrupt.

Some people are speculating that Ning Hao set this ending, perhaps because he wanted to elevate his idea by finally gaining a new life due to the sacrifice of lawyer Pan Xiao, but it was too straightforward and did not match the tone of the whole movie.

Unlike in "Titanic", people can infer from the photos of the elderly Rose's side that although Rose has gone through the catastrophe, she finally lived the life she longed for as Jack hoped, which would be more subtle and high-end.

Some people think that Ning Hao's handling of the black humor part is a bit stiff and overforced, although many viewers were amused during the viewing process, but the bitterness is not deep enough.

However, in any case, "No Man's Land" is a Chinese film that makes people's blood boil, and makes people see the future and hope of Chinese films.

But~~~~~~~

"I always feel awkward in my heart, "No Man's Land" should have been better!"

Song Zheng didn't finish filming until midnight, and as soon as he returned to the hotel, he received a call from Ning Hao.

"Are you still saying that's interesting!?"

Ning Hao was silent for a long time, and said: "I know that my current state is not right, but, Zhengzi, I really think that I should be able to do better, and I also hope to present the best works to the audience, but, you know, many things ~~~~~."

"A lot of things are helpless!" Song Zheng finished speaking for Ning Hao, "Aren't you quite clear!? Why are you still talking about calling me to enlighten you, okay, it's almost enough, what else do you want!?" It's so hard that you have to be like Lou Ye and them, the film can never be released, and can only be thrown in the company's library as an ornament, so that people know that you once made a great movie, but because some people's heads squeezed the door frame, this film could not be released, and people could not enjoy your most awesome work?

Song Zheng said, but he knew that if it was him a few years ago, he might have done this, but now, his mentality has long been different, or rather, he has long become vulgar, as can be seen from the fact that he began to treat movies as a commodity for sale.

Song Zheng sometimes annoys himself like this, but he must change, it can also be said to adjust himself, now he is different from before, thousands of people are eating with him, if he doesn't change, if he doesn't adapt to the rules of the game in this circle, he will be eliminated, and the thousands of people who eat with him will have to lose their jobs, so he must adapt to his current self.

Ning Hao is the same, he feels that "No Man's Land" is not perfect enough, and that is because he has not yet adapted to the rules of this circle.

"Brother Hao, don't think about anything now, the movie has been released, and the box office is very good, this is the best result, we can't ask too much, otherwise it will be greedy." ”

Ning Hao smiled bitterly and said, "I know, I just can't do this!"

"Don't do it, if you continue to be so awkward with yourself, I don't feel at ease to throw tens of millions of dollars into your new work at once!"

Ning Hao has a new move, this is a book he showed to Song Zheng during the New Year, just like in his previous life, Ning Hao's next thing to shoot is "The Great Gold Robbery".

Song Zheng had seen all of Ning Hao's works in his previous life, even including "Green Meadow" and "Incense" in the early stage, if he picked the worst one among these works with different styles, it would undoubtedly be "The Great Gold Robbery".

When Ning Hao was filming "The Great Gold Robbery" in his previous life, it was when "No Man's Land" was repeatedly sent for trial and killed, and his state was obviously very poor at that time, and his heart must have been chaotic, so he told a good story crookedly.
